THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM SATURDAY. MARCH 1, 1919.
NEW TEAMS WILL BE ENTERED IN TOURNEY HERE Enthusiastic Basketball Event Predicted by District Teams -Sixteen to Compete. The indications are that the eighth annual basketball tournament which will get under way next Friday and Saturday at the Coliseum will be one of the largest and best athletlo events of Its kind ever beld in Richmond. ' Not only will the tournament be the best from the standpoint of the number of teams of high caliber entered but also from the general atmosphere and spirit of the large delegations witnessing the tourney. Judging from the number of out of town basketball fans who have been attending the games of the Richmond basketball team played at the Coliseum, there will be an exceptionally large crowd from out of Richmond among the spectators. Last year sixteen high schools were represented In the sectional tournament here and it is thought probable that the same number will be entered this year. Eight of the teams have been entered in the sectional tournament here for the last three years. hy are Rushville, Hagerstown, Milroy. Cambridge City, Modoc, Union City and Sandusky. Eight new teams were entered!- last year numbering Fountain City, Burney, Greene, Farmland. Manilla, Coonersvnie, Moscow and St. Paul. " " Manilla Proved Surprise. Last year's tourney was brimful of Burprises. Connersville came here heralded as a well oiled machine and lost its first game scheduled to Manilla, the giant surprise team. Next the gritty little Sandusky team defeated ' the " Hagerstown 7 basketball fequad to the tune of 4 to 10. Mllroy was ' harder to eliminate than the Richmond fans at first thought, but the Richmond boys finally won by a close margin of 22 to 20. " Probably one of the most crushing urprises was the Fountain City quintet with about the same record behind them that they hold this year, who triumphed over the Liberty basketball lineup, 19 to 15. ", Last year, BrookviHe, the winner of the 1917 tournament stayed out of the race, but It has signified itg intention of again competing at Richmond this year. This will probably mean that Manilla, which is the greatest distance from Richmond, will go to Columbus, this year and that the Brookvllle team will take its place In the tourney. Probable Schedule. Barring the unexpected and taking the the sixteen probable entries as certain, the basketball tournament Bchedule will be arranged and conducted In much the same manner It was in 1918. If that is the case the schedule of games will be as follows: Friday Morning. " 9:00 Richmond vs. Rushville. 10:00 Mllroy vs. St. Paul. 11: 00 Liberty vs. Cambridge City. Friday Afternoon. 1:00 Fountain City vs. Burney. 2:00 Greeno vs. Modoc. 3:00 Brookvllle vs. Connersville. 4:00 Moscow vs. Union City.

' The. board attempts to f ive each tournament center the teams ylng nearest the site shown for the JLourney. According to rules established last year, teams must be on the floor at the time its games are scheduled or are under penalty of forfetiure of game. No changes can be made in the schedule and no substitutions of non-entered players will be permitted. Each team is allowed to enter eight men. All entries were to be in Thursday and protests were required to be In by today. Spalding's offlcail guides govern the tourpament.

Kessler, Rlzio and Unthank were the net men for the daisies. ' - The Sauter and Johannlng combination of the Lilies, making three and two fields, respectively, were the cause of their team defeating the Marines to the tune of 10 to 6. Alexander made the fix points for the losing team. " " c In the Small Boys league the games were extremely close. The Indian basketball crew defeated the Stutz, 5 to 3. Yale triumphed over the Star team. 2 to 1. The Sammies crushed the Reds to the tune of 2 to 0.

It was not until the last few minutes that the scouts were forced to give "up, losing by a 13 to 12 score. " " ' " The second game on the bill was an easy one for the local boya. The Marines representing Garfield school were unable to get together and aa a result went'down with, the small "end of a 3 to 17. score. EATON OUTCLASSES ARCANUM QUINTET EATON, Q.,' March 1. The local basketball live completely outclassed the Arcanum quintet here Friday night by the score of 37 to 13. The game was slow and lacked snap to make it interesting. " Shere,r and Overholser furnished the scoring machine for the local quintet. No exceptionally good playing was shown. The first game was between two girls' teams of Eaton, the Purple and the Gold. After five minutes overtime with the score 10 to 10, the Purples finally ennexed the victory by a free throw. ' . Next Friday the Eaton basketball team will go to Arcanum to play a return game. A large crowd of rooters will accompany the team.
English Tennis Team Challenges Americans The English tennis team has sent the United States tennis team a challenge for the Davis cup, the International trophy cup now In possession of Australia. Probably the tennis match will be held at Forest Hills, New York, some time next summer, and teams from France,' England, Belgium, Sweden, Australia and the United States will probably be in the competition. For several years no International tennis match has been played owing to war conditions, but in the last one played In 1914, Australia took the Davis cup. Two of Australia's crack net men were killed in the first year of the war with the British army on the western front.
Bloomington High Takes lead in Basketball BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Mar. 1.

The first half ended with the Anderson aggregation in the lead by a 13 to 8 'score. In the second half the Bloomington five came back strong and by brilliant passing and teamwork edged the Anderson five out of the story in the last half.

With t"e flen?ra( revival In tport why not organize a Badger, fight club to bring together all victims of that gentle game? A movement, originating in Cleveland, O., is on foot to petition the National A. A. U. for a district to be composed entirely of Ohio clubs. This would mean that all clubs in the Buckeye state holding memberships in the Allegheny Mountain association would withdraw from that body and in the event of an Ohio district being formed would be eliminated from competing in any A. M. A. championships. Arrangements have been made for a Pat Moran day In Philadelphia on May 26, . when the Cincinnati Reds play their opening game there. It is the opinion that the majority of the Philadelphia fans, disgruntled because of the way Moran was cut loose, will "show "their ; disapproval of the change.
